Sitting Back Before Talking About the PyCon Incident / What IS a Developer Evangelist, Anyway?

In the wake of the PyCon 2013 “Dongle” incident and the ensuing fallout, the emails — but notably, no tweets, Facebook comments or any sort of messages delivered in the open — have been trickling in, asking what my thoughts on the matter were, given that:

With the intersection of a lot of “hot button” issues: privacy, privilege, sexism, racism, back-and-forth accusations of misogyny and misandry and conflicting visions of justice, there’s been far too much bile being passed back and forth for listening and civil discourse to take place.

Thanks for letting us know about this. It was definitely below *my* radar. Maybe because I don’t currently do Python. Maybe because I’m nose-down on a project. Looking forward to a full analysis posting.
